Our bathroom was perfectly small and square and to entertain myself while using the potty, I'd shut the door, use the light switch to choose a 'floor,' sit down and convince myself I was on an elevator going up. When I was done, the elevator bell would ding, the door would open and I'd be magically at the floor I had selected.
when i was 6 or 7 i loved it when my mom would tell me scary stories from the ones she had seen so one night she ran out of stories but i begged she asked if i knew why the toilet howled (really it did)no she gave me this story about a boy falling in to a toilet and he lived there his name howly commadey and that he would grab me i belived this when we moved from that house when i was ten i laugh about it now GOOD STORY MOM

I have a friend who says he really believed this:
When he was little, and the USA's South was still very segregated, he used to try to sneak into the "Colored Restroom". His mother would stop him every time, saying, "It's not for us to use."
He was very upset by this. He thought it was a special restroom where all the tiles were bright colors and colored water came out of all the sinks and toilets. He figured because he and his family were Italians, they could only use the restroom where all the tile was white and all the water was clear.
Makes me chuckle to this day. Since then, I've had this thought:
Wouldn't it have been great if he'd sneaked into the "Colored Restroom", and the entirety of all the great African American authors, artists and thinkers had ever been in there having a party and THAT'S why he wasn't invited?
That would've been much cooler.

I still actually do this. In fear of colgging the toilets, I cross my fingers and hold my breath. Hey, It works.

When I was little I never got to stay up late, so I didn't know what happened at midnight. I thought it was a magical time when stuffed animals and toys came to life. I also thought monsters came out and all my toys protected me.
One time, at a very early age, I was spending too long in the toilet, and both of my parents were waiting outside to use it. Dad called out, "There is a queue out here." I raced outside, believing that, like on Sesame Street, there was a large letter 'Q' in the sky being waved about.

I used to be afraid that if I turned on the tap while the toliet was flushing, the toilet water would come out the tap.

i used to think that a rest room was where u went when u were arrested because some would say theres arrestroom when its actually a rest room
I had this really weird fear that when I flushed the toilet, somebody would come and kill me because the sound of the toilet would cover it all up. I don't know why I had this fear or where it originated.

I used to think that if you pooped too much, the entire toilet would be filled and you'd be sitting on a pile of poop. I never thought that people would actually flush if it got "too full" to them.

I used to think that the toilet was an animal, and it waited for people to deposite their 'waste' down the drain to feed him. Everytime i went to the bathroom, i felt like i was feeding the toilet, like you would a pet.

When I was getting potty trained as a toddler, i used to believe that potty training was being put onto a train that had alot of toilets until you knew that you wouldn't go in your pants anymore.

I used to think that the floty ball inside the toilet was something for kids to play with.;o) hehe!

When I was little and we moved into our new house, I was afraid that the smoke alarm was a security camera that went on at night *because of the green light that flashed on and off*. I was always afraid to goto the bathroom for the sake of it calling the police when it detected movement. One time when I had a high fever and was dilerious, my fear was raised, and I was afraid to leave my room because I heard policemen outside the room. I had drank alot of water because my father would constantly tell me that in order to get better, I would need at least 5 cups of water per day. I ended up wetting myself...

My brother and sister told me that if I sat on the toliet and said magic words, I could travel to fun land! They laughed so hard when they heard me receiting the words in the bathroom.

When I was a child my mom used to tell my little sister that if she didn't stop usuing so much toilet paper, the Tidy Bowl man would slap her on the butt. To this day I remember that and remind my sister about it. Fond memories.

When I was about two or three, I thought the toilet was a water ride for little kids, so one day I tried to climb in and flush, so I could try the water slide in my house!

I used to think that when you flushed the toilet that it went to a building where worker people picked out the poop and other things that went down the toilet and that was howthe water got cleaned

i thought that some homeless man sat in my wall and the poop would go down through that little pipe into a bowl and the starving people would eat it and one day i took the stud finder and i went by the toilet because i thought it foud things behind the wall and it beeped right next to the toilet and i was terrafied and i used a different bathroom rom then on.
